But as companies start the move to platforms they often benefit from including outsiders in the process. But at the same time, not all this effort is exclusively internally focused. Instead, platform project leaders find themselves increasingly managing two key groups: complementors who may be outside the company or transitioning to internal roles inside the company and a growing community that can benefit from an internal function inside the company devoted to promoting and managing it.
Nest, the smart thermostat that has become a home products platform, has to actively work with other companies to develop Nest compatible products, deciding which complementors to keep outside the company nurturing them without scaring them away and which to bring inside the company.
To illustrate, Nest recently acquired Dropcam, which produces cameras that allow customers to see and monitor their home — ensuring that Dropcam would become a complementor rather than a competitor to Nest. In the final stage, companies embrace a hybrid business model and reallocate revenue streams to optimize for total value creation and capture rather than focusing on one — the product or the platform — at the expense of the other.
The real challenge is to create the business model flexibility to iterate on a well-established product and turn it into a platform.
Several of the companies we studied appeared to have developed potentially viable platforms out of their products, but struggled to move from capturing value based on products to capturing value based on the combination of products and platforms through a hybrid business model that combined both product and platform elements.
